An emotional Jade Thirlwall held back tears as she discussed Little Mix splitting up after their last tour show this week during Tuesday's episode of The One Show.

In the group's last ever TV interview before they disband to focus on solo pursuits, the singer, 29, told how she will miss having Perrie Edwards, 28, and Leigh-Anne Pinnock, 30, 'by her side 24/7'.

The pop trio will finish their Confetti tour this weekend when they hit London's 02 Arena for a sold-out final show. 

Asked by host Alex Jones what she will miss the most about being in a band Jade became visibly emotional as she answered: 'I will miss everything! We cry laughing every day, we spend all of our time together so I think we will miss that, being in each other's company all the time. 

'That sisterhood will never be lost but I will miss having them next to me 24/7. We want to say thank you to all the fans for the last ten years, we are so grateful. 

'That last show on Saturday will feel so special, we still pinch ourselves we have made it this far.'

On the end of an era Leigh-Anne added of the final tour: 'The last tour shows have been incredible being in front of thousands of fans it has been so emotional and we have come to the end so soon, it's sad but they have been amazing. 

'We are doing a global live stream of the 02 show on Saturday so you can all watch it on your computers.'

Jade then discussed how their relationship will change as they move on to pursue solo ventures.

She said: 'What's so lovely is that whatever we do moving forward we will have each other to support each other. 

'For 10 years we have been in this group supporting each other and that is not going to change now once we start doing our own thing.'
